Hi,
Before sorting out the jumpers,the background to this dilemma is that:
The desktop used to perform fine.Until I purchased this new Asus Eee laptop,I stopped
using the desktop for some 6 mths.The next occasion it was switched on,it worked ok.I then started to reinstall win xp using the sp2 cd.The attempted install failed.I have never physically opened it up to change anything & I think it is a software problem.
Or could be the hard drive.
